WEEKEND CAT BLOGGING #249

This week,Weekend Cat Blogging #249 is hosted by Breadchick and LB at "The Sour Dough" (USA)...

To submit your kitty picture(s), you can either leave a message in their blog's comment section (with your permalinks) or contact them via e-mail without forgetting to give all the needed information.

Here are some news regarding Fridolin's health...

Last Monday, the veterinary came home and after feeling a ball in Fridolin's stomach area, he decided to take him back to his practice and conduct a series of tests (blood test and a radio).

The bloood test result came out not too bad and showed that Fridolin's kidneys as well as liver are in a very good state (for his age/15 years old). On the other hand the test showed a high level of glucids and white blood cells. Then the radio showed what scared me the most: Frodolin has a walnut-sized tumor in the lower stomach.

Unfortunately, the veterinary told us that he could not operate him and that it was too late to save him. No treatment was even possible. We were ready to euthanize him, but when we arrived at the doctor's practice, we discovered a nosy and active Fridolin who could not stand still... That made us change our minds!

We have decided to to do all that we can for him and give him natural remedies. So, since a week Fridolin takes cortisone as well as homeopathy. He is sweet, full of energy, doesn't seem to suffer, eats like a lion and is very happy. He seems very strong morally and ready to fight against that nasty tumor.

If anybody can recommend a homeopathic or natural treatment (alternative medicine), please leave me a message and I will be very happy to consider it...

From having a cat with cancer in the past, I can say it is really about what makes Fridolin happy. If you really think he wants to fight, you could look for an oncology vet in your area and perhaps chemotherapy could be started. But often that does not give cats more than a few extra months, unfortunately, and it is very expensive. Most cancer cats stay on the steroid until it is time to go the bridge, and it often improves their quality of life for a while. I am very sorry that he is so sick.

sorry about your kitty, as long as he's not clearly in lots of pain I would just love him and give him his favorite things :) I don't know of any natural remedies. If it were me I would probally start making his food, if it didn't help his health, it would at least maybe make him happy, unless he's like mine and only likes kibble, canned tuna, and pulled pork.
